It looks like Phoenix canariensis Canary Date Palm it can eventually reach a height of 6' with a spread of about 3' after many years, but indoors it only grows about 6" a year. I havent had this one mine was a smaller type which I lost through leaving it outside in our much cooler N.E. temps while on holiday. If you need anymore info I found it in my plants book.

I don't think that is a fern Teddygirl. It looks like a parlour palm to me. It could be a kentia palm if it is growing outside.

I think that's an Areca Palm (Dypsis [Chrysalidocarpus] lutescens). A common houseplant, here in the States.

Hi Teddygirl, I'm certain this is Neanthe Bella (Parlour Palm) - I have had many of these over the years. They're a houseplant so please don't leave it outside over winter! I doublechecked my answer on Homebase's website, as that's where I bought the same plant from. Have a look yourself, it's under the houseplant section. It does say a maximum height of 20cm but the last one I had was huge!
